    Agreed.  On my MOO (DartMOOth), which got off the ground a few days ago,
    we are starting from Minimal.db.  I copied the eval verb from the
    README-Minimal.db (with the addition of a tick counter).  To improve it,
    one of the other wizards wrote a reasonable facsimile of toliteral().  When
    I mentioned the existance of the built-in, he made a comment about hitting
    his head against a wall.

    I can see no advantage that tostr() has over toliteral(), so is this now
    in the server purely for reasons of backwards-compatibility?
